What is cabinet air support?

Cupboard air support cupboard air support is also called air spring and support rod, which is a kind of cupboard hardware accessories with functions of support, buffer, braking and angle adjustment.

1、 What is the function of cupboard air support?

Cabinet air support is a hardware accessory that supports, buffers, brakes and adjusts the angle in the cabinet. Cabinet air support has considerable technical content, the performance and quality of products affect the quality of the whole cabinet.

1、 Classification of cabinet air support

According to the application state of the cabinet air support, the spring can be divided into automatic air support series which make the door turn up and down slowly at a stable speed; Make the door in any position of the random stop series; There are also self-locking air supports, dampers and so on. It can be selected according to the cabinet function.

2、 What is the working principle of cabinet air support?

The thick part of the air support in the cabinet is called the cylinder, and the thin part is called the piston rod. It is filled with inert gas or oily mixture with a certain pressure difference from the external atmospheric pressure in the closed cylinder, and then uses the pressure difference acting on the cross section of the piston rod to complete the free movement of the air support. The biggest difference between air support and general mechanical spring is that:

Generally, the elastic force of mechanical spring changes greatly with the extension and shortening of the spring, while the force value of air support basically remains unchanged in the whole stretching movement.

5、 How to install cabinet air support?

1. The gas spring piston rod must be installed downward, not upside down, so as to reduce friction and ensure the best damping quality and cushioning performance.

2. Determining the installation position of the fulcrum is the guarantee for the correct operation of the gas spring. The gas spring must be installed in the correct way, that is, when it is closed, let it move over the center line of the structure, otherwise, the gas spring will often automatically push the door open.

3. The gas spring should not be affected by the inclined force or transverse force in the work. It shall not be used as handrail.

4. In order to ensure the reliability of the seal, the surface of the piston rod shall not be damaged, and it is strictly forbidden to apply paint and chemicals on the piston rod. It is also not allowed to install the gas spring at the required position before spraying or painting.

5. The gas spring is a high-pressure product. It is strictly forbidden to dissect, bake and smash at will.

6. It is forbidden to rotate the gas spring piston rod to the left. If it is necessary to adjust the direction of the connector, only turn it to the right.

7. The connection point should be installed flexibly without jamming.

8. The selection size should be reasonable, the force should be appropriate, and the piston rod stroke size should have 8 mm allowance.

6、 How to identify the quality of cabinet air support?

1. Sealing: if the sealing is not good, there will be oil leakage and air leakage in the process of use;

2. Accuracy: all air supports have rated force value, and the force value error of high-quality air supports is very small;

3. Service life: that is, the number of round-trip compression (a stretch compression reciprocating is once). At present, the domestic air support on the market can only reach 10000 to 20000 times at most, and the imported air support can reach about 50000 times. The sales staff said that their cabinet air support can be compressed by 100000 times and 80000 times, which is an exaggeration, so they should be cautious when buying;

4. Appearance quality: including air support paint color, smoothness, welding quality, appearance whether there are pits, scratches, etc. The lifting lug is an important link to connect the cabinet door panel, and also plays the key role of bearing gravity. If there are pits and scratches, the sealing device inside the cylinder will be damaged when using, so that the air support will leak after using for a period of time, resulting in that the air support can not be used without pressure. Professional air support manufacturers will pay attention to the details of the product, so they can pay a little attention to the selection;

5. Force value change: due to the design and processing factors, the cabinet air support force value can not maintain a constant ideal state, inevitable changes. The smaller the change range is, the better the quality of air support is.
